Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys Let's go. Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 5: Ready for a break?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And so much for that.
Speaker 7: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 7: with Mbar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Patrick Walker, and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 8: It is Friday, January fifth, twenty twenty four, Season nineteen,
Speaker 8: episode number one oh two. Welcome to the latest edition
Speaker 8: of The Break. We are alive from the s WBC
Speaker 8: Mortgage studios at the Star and today we get you
Speaker 8: ready for Cowboys versus Commanders. It is a final game
Speaker 8: with the season. Terry Jones, in his radio address a
Speaker 8: few minutes ago, made the statement, this is a playoff game.
Speaker 8: We're playing Sunday and we have to win this game.
Speaker 8: It is a critical game for the Cowboys. I think
Speaker 8: we all agree on that it is about home feel
Speaker 8: advantage for them, and that's their fastest and easiest way
Speaker 8: to ensure they have home feel advantage at least for
Speaker 8: the first two rounds.
Speaker 2: Of the playoffs. So let's dive in.
Speaker 8: Let's first start with injuries, because there is a really
Speaker 8: really interesting group of injuries, not only for the Cowboys
Speaker 8: but also for the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 2: Patrick run it down.
Speaker 9: All right, y'all bear with me, because it's a lot
Speaker 9: going on on both sides. So let's start with our hometown,
Speaker 9: hometown Cowboys. Good news. Ric o'dowdle was upgraded to full
Speaker 9: practice on yesterday with that ankle, so check he's back. Well,
Speaker 9: you know that'll be guaranteed if he gets no game
Speaker 9: designation today, but looks like he's back. Jonathan Hankins suffered
Speaker 9: no setbacks in his return to practice. He was a
Speaker 9: getting limited on Yesterday Thursday, but still trending towards possibly
Speaker 9: check returning. Tyler Smith no change in his situation. Like
Speaker 9: Brian said yesterday, likely a game time decision. They rested
Speaker 9: him again yesterday, did not participate with that go on
Speaker 9: Plantar Fascia.
Speaker 4: We'll see what his status is.
Speaker 9: I think it will probably be doubtful full game designation,
Speaker 9: but we'll see.
Speaker 4: How they play that out. Not so good.
Speaker 9: Dorian's armstrong popped up on the injury report and he
Speaker 9: didn't go down to limit it. He went from full
Speaker 9: to D and P so he did not participate with
Speaker 9: an ankle injury. Keep an eye on that. Armstrong obviously
Speaker 9: has been having a strong season one of his best
Speaker 9: Chill and Chauncey Ghoston now joined one Ye Thomas and
Speaker 9: Malik Hooker as battling the bug that's been going around
Speaker 9: so illness designation. They were both ghosting and IDOGA d
Speaker 9: n P did not participate on yesterday. Hooker's also dealing
Speaker 9: with that ankle injury, So those you want to keep
Speaker 9: an eye on.
Speaker 10: Has anyone, sorry, has anyone missed, because again because of illness,
Speaker 10: I don't remember. I think they've all ended up playing.
Speaker 8: I think when Hooker ended up missing it was because
Speaker 8: it was because of the ankle.
Speaker 9: So nothing comes to mind, but something tells me, yeah,
Speaker 9: someone probably.
Speaker 4: Did, but I can't.
Speaker 10: I can't remember anything.
Speaker 4: Michael played through his and then.
Speaker 10: Uh, most people have.
Speaker 4: Wasn't Jayron run and caught the book?
Speaker 9: I believe it's made its way around the defensive back
Speaker 9: room and the defensive line room as well. But hopefully
Speaker 9: that trend stays stays because they're battling it right now.
Speaker 9: Now let's slip to the commanders huge. Jonathan Allen still
Speaker 9: did not participate in practice on yesterday. I checked on
Speaker 9: his status this morning as the Commanders start practice and
Speaker 9: he is D and P again today.
Speaker 4: So that means Jonathan Allen.
Speaker 9: Will have going the entire week without practicing with that
Speaker 9: knee injury.
Speaker 8: Is that a situation, just real quick? Is that a
Speaker 8: situation like with Tyron Smith? You always have to ask
Speaker 8: that with veteran players where they just kind of let
Speaker 8: him kind of go through the week and then he
Speaker 8: plays on Sunday.
Speaker 11: I talked to some people at the Commanders yesterday. They
Speaker 11: got a lot of guys right now that are asking
Speaker 11: why why do we have to play?
Speaker 3: It's a fair question to that point.
Speaker 11: And if you're ready to go to the Caribbean, and
Speaker 11: if you know, Jonathan Allen has been his voicedest displeasure
Speaker 11: throughout the year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the fact, and he is.
Speaker 11: He's still with the knee. They have a lot of
Speaker 11: veteran players right now that are not interested in playing football.
Speaker 11: They understand the coaching situation. Uh, you know, there's coaches
Speaker 11: on that staff that are coaching for jobs, maybe not
Speaker 11: with the Commanders but with other organizations. Maybe a new
Speaker 11: coach coming in it says, hey, this guy does a
Speaker 11: good job. With our tight ends. I want to keep
Speaker 11: him around. I like him. You know, maybe ownership says,
Speaker 11: you know, hey, we need to keep this guy. So
Speaker 11: they're in a really terrible situation right now. And they're
Speaker 11: in a terrible situation because, uh, they're they've got a
Speaker 11: lot of veteran players that are just they're they're done,
Speaker 11: they've had enough, and so they're interested in playing young players.
Speaker 11: But they're that they that they understand what's ahead of
Speaker 11: them and what's about to happen as soon as that
Speaker 11: game's over. I still always feel like you need to
Speaker 11: be nervous. You just don't know how a game is
Speaker 11: going to go. But the way the commanders are looking
Speaker 11: at this at certain key spots would both well for
Speaker 11: the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: But wait, there's more.
Speaker 9: So you go to the commander's secondary. So you know,
Speaker 9: Kendall Fuller starting nickelback, still did not practice with the
Speaker 9: knee issue. Also didn't practice, isn't set to practice today
Speaker 9: on Friday, So there you go. Cam Currow didn't practice.
Speaker 9: Quad injury safety, Christian Holmes back up rotational cornerback did
Speaker 9: not practice, still in concussion protocol. Now here's another big
Speaker 9: one for them. Casey two Hill defensive end. He has
Speaker 9: five sacks on the season. Downgraded to limited, so he's
Speaker 9: battling through a shoulder injury now after being full participant
Speaker 9: earlier this week. And then you flip to the offense
Speaker 9: starting right tackle Andrew Wilie. He's still limited with his elbow.
Speaker 9: But here's another massive one. Curtis Samuel was downgraded to DMP.
Speaker 9: Did not participate on yesterday with a hamstring injury. So
Speaker 9: it's a soft tissue injury, and you know how tricky
Speaker 9: those can be, so on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 9: For Washington, like Brian said, be it a mix of
Speaker 9: true injury and or the players saying to themselves business decision.
Speaker 9: They got a lot going on over there. But that
Speaker 9: just really makes it more of a trap game if
Speaker 9: you ask me exactly.
Speaker 8: The last thing I want is the is the are
Speaker 8: the cowboy players reading that and saying, oh, well, they're
Speaker 8: giving up and not taking it seriously. You got to
Speaker 8: go in there and really put them away. And I
Speaker 8: know I've heard I think I've heard you say this, Brian,
Speaker 8: and these kind of situations got to go into a
Speaker 8: game and just kind of knock the will out of
Speaker 8: them early and If you do that, they do tend
Speaker 8: to buckle and fold in the game.
Speaker 11: You have to destroy their will to compete. Yeah, it
Speaker 11: is what you have to do. And so you know,
Speaker 11: this is a hot t shirt game, but the message
Speaker 11: needs to be made. You need to go and win
Speaker 11: however means you can. I don't care if it's one
Speaker 11: point or one hundred points. Just go find a way
Speaker 11: to win that football game. Because really, and I've said
Speaker 11: this in a couple of different platforms, now, I do
Speaker 11: believe your Super Bowl life is depending on it. I
Speaker 11: just don't see this team going on the road and
Speaker 11: having to win a bunch of games. You know, all
Speaker 11: the home games. You've put sixteen straight games at home.
Speaker 11: There's a reason why you play a lot better here.
Speaker 11: So to me, that's the focus right now. I don't
Speaker 11: care about one or one hundred. Just find a way
Speaker 11: to go in there. Don't get stupid penalties, don't you know.
Speaker 11: Turn the ball over and just play to the level
Speaker 11: that you can play at, and you will destroy their
Speaker 11: will to compete. You will be a better football team
Speaker 11: than them when it's all said and done, when you
Speaker 11: line up, you will be the better football team. Go
Speaker 11: play like the better football team and go finish this
Speaker 11: thing off.
Speaker 9: The perfect situation for the Washington Commanders would be to
Speaker 9: play enough competitive football to dispel any narratives about obvious tanking,
Speaker 9: but to play just poorly enough wherein you don't win
Speaker 9: this game and you secure your.
Speaker 4: Number two overall pick.
Speaker 9: But here's where it gets dangerous even with that as
Speaker 9: far as the Cowboys are concerned, because assuming they go
Speaker 9: with this perfect scenario, we want to remain competitive through
Speaker 9: three and a half quarters whatever. But the Cowboys have
Speaker 9: shown that they can inflict self you know, self inflicted
Speaker 9: penalty question, right, So if they're playing just well enough
Speaker 9: to lose but look like they could win, and then
Speaker 9: you have two or three penalties that actually accidentally push
Speaker 9: them over into the win column. So to Bryan's point,
Speaker 9: you need to go in there and demoralize them early,
Speaker 9: hopefully get off to a fast start, and then those
Speaker 9: guys will start making more and more business decisions and saying,
Speaker 9: you know what I forgot, We actually do suck, so
Speaker 9: let's just go ahead and finish this.
Speaker 11: I would yeah, I would hate to be working in
Speaker 11: this front office or coaching staff if they lose this
Speaker 11: football game. I honestly would I don't think that would
Speaker 11: be a good situation from anybody. You know, you need
Speaker 11: to coach like you need to have that that desire
Speaker 11: to go win this game, because, like I say, there's
Speaker 11: there's a lot riding on the line for the Dallas
Speaker 11: Cowboys and this one a lot.
Speaker 8: With Ever, with all that being said, do you guys
Speaker 8: look at guys like Tyler Smith and Jonathan Hankins and say,
Speaker 8: all hands are on deck, we can't afford if you
Speaker 8: can play, even if you're not one hundred percent, if
Speaker 8: you can play, you need to be out there. Or
Speaker 8: do you say, let's be smart because there still are
Speaker 8: playoff games, we have to be aware of it.
Speaker 10: I don't feel like a game where you can win
Speaker 10: it without those guys. To me, it feels like that.
Speaker 10: But then again, I mean I was ready to sit
Speaker 10: down Tyron Smith, I Lee. So I don't know. It
Speaker 10: is one of those things that, man, you do not
Speaker 10: you want to have those guys fully healthy and available
Speaker 10: for the playoffs, But the implication of having those home
Speaker 10: games it's so big and so important.
Speaker 9: So I don't I feel like you can win this
Speaker 9: game without Tyler Smith and Jonathan Hankins. But I feel
Speaker 9: like you you sit Tyler Smith because there's not any
Speaker 9: rush there that needs to be worked off. He needs
Speaker 9: to rest that foot and be ready for two weeks
Speaker 9: from now. Jonathan Hankins, however, has missed multiple games. He
Speaker 9: has to get his wheels greased. He has to get right.
Speaker 9: So ideally you go out there, you get him playing
Speaker 9: first half. Hopefully the game is out of hand. But
Speaker 9: in you know, in the Cowboys control, you start pulling guys. Hey,
Speaker 9: Jonathan Hankins, good job, grease you. Willis come off the field,
Speaker 9: Dak Prescott, come off the field, get ready for Cooper rush.
Speaker 9: So ideally that should be the game plan. But I
Speaker 9: would like to see Hankins on the field. I would
Speaker 9: not like to see Tyler Smith on the field.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the injury to Jonathan Allen and kind of where
Speaker 11: I'm here and that's gonna go. And I hope I'm
Speaker 11: right about this as somebody telling me from the commanders.
Speaker 11: But if he doesn't play, I feel a lot better
Speaker 11: about Tyler Smith not playing in this football game. TJ.
Speaker 11: Bass has done a fine job. My concern is like
Speaker 11: the Rams obviously don't care whether they're the sixth seed
Speaker 11: of the seventh seed, and there's a possibility that you
Speaker 11: could catch them as the seventh seed depending on some
Speaker 11: wins and losses along the way. With some of these teams,
Speaker 11: Mike concern thought they were I thought they were solidified.
Speaker 2: They had they can drop this out.
Speaker 11: They could drop to seven. Yeah, so depending on if
Speaker 11: you get a Green Bay win and a Rams loss,
Speaker 11: there's kind of some serien nose where they could drop
Speaker 11: down to six or seven. And if that that's the case,
Speaker 11: now you're dealing with that, Aaron Donald, So, I need
Speaker 11: uh I need Uhler, I need Tyler as healthy as
Speaker 11: possible if that's the case.
Speaker 2: So there you go, man, that's a yeah. I didn't
Speaker 2: realize they they were still positive.
Speaker 11: The Rams don't care that far. You know what, the Rams.
Speaker 11: This is why the Rams are scary. They don't care
Speaker 11: if they're the sixth, the seventh. They know they're going
Speaker 11: on the road, and they're telling you right now, we
Speaker 11: don't care if we're gonna have to play the two
Speaker 11: or the three, we don't care.
Speaker 2: And they started saying that they were sitting guys this week.
Speaker 11: Oh they're gonna sit their whole team. They're good the.
Speaker 2: Cars and so on. In the forty nine is interesting enough.
Speaker 8: That's gonna be an interesting game because I don't think
Speaker 8: anybody's playing their guys.
Speaker 11: They're they're they're completely sitting everybody that they could be.
Speaker 11: They can finish the year ten and seven. The Rams,
Speaker 11: they don't care. They just don't care. They're got They're
Speaker 11: thinking more about the health of their team, whether they
Speaker 11: have to go travel as the six or go travel
Speaker 11: at the seventh. They don't. They don't have time for
Speaker 11: your Uh, they don't have time.
Speaker 2: They don't you know, that's what makes them scary to No.
Speaker 11: Yeah, when you get a team that has the attitude
Speaker 11: like we don't play anybody. Yeah, we'll show up at Detroit.
Speaker 11: We don't care. We'll show up in Dallas. We don't
Speaker 11: even know they got hammered here. We don't care. If
Speaker 11: we're the seventh seed, we'll show up.
Speaker 8: You would think they'd be like, there's incentive for us
Speaker 8: to play, to be able to go to Detroit, versus.
Speaker 11: After what happened to him in Dallas. It's like it's
Speaker 11: it's like like our fear of going to San Francisco.
Speaker 11: They have none of that. Now we're like, oh God,
Speaker 11: please you gotta get home games, you know, if you've
Speaker 11: got to set this thing up. You know, they're they're like,
Speaker 11: we don't have time for your six seven doesn't matter.
Speaker 11: We're gonna rest our team and we're gonna be ready
Speaker 11: when the thing starts. That's scary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know. You just introduced something I really
Speaker 2: wasn't wasn't paying attention to.
Speaker 8: So we'll think. We'll see how that goes. Are we
Speaker 8: gonna take our final first break when we come back.
Speaker 8: Uh Amber has a little game for us, and then
Speaker 8: we'll get to the final segment. We'll have some predictions

Speaker 11: as a bad example too, if you like.
Speaker 10: Al Right, okay, first one, and I think these are
Speaker 10: all easy, but because maybe I know the find out
Speaker 10: all right. As a senior wide receiver, I caught forty
Speaker 10: two passes for six hundred and seventy eight yards and
Speaker 10: six touchdowns. I graduated with a degree in integrative biology
Speaker 10: in twenty twelve. I was drafted in the third round. Bye, Jacksonville.
Speaker 4: Oh, these aren't just Cowboys players. These the other.

Speaker 10: Yep, he was a receiver as a senior.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait a senior in high school? College? Uh, that
Speaker 2: will make a difference.
Speaker 10: I think maybe it was high school.
Speaker 2: It had to be high school.
Speaker 10: Okay, college.
Speaker 4: You said these were easy, all right, thought you didn't like?
Speaker 10: Chris gets the point, thank you?
Speaker 8: Look all right, I don't got it.
Speaker 11: It is not that we don't know.
Speaker 10: I don't know the bonus question was gonna be. The
Speaker 10: bonus thing was gonna be. I've been invited to Orlando,
Speaker 10: but I'm trying to book a fly to Las Vegas. Okay,
Speaker 10: that narrow is it down?
Speaker 2: That wouldn't help me?
Speaker 10: Okay, you guys, I know that.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I would have still been thinking what
Speaker 2: wide receiver. Other than.
Speaker 10: That was a little tough, but okay, next one, next one.

Speaker 11: The pride was that was the cue.
Speaker 10: All of it was about a lion, restless, sleep, the pride,
Speaker 10: and then females are in charge of the food. But
Speaker 10: he does in.
Speaker 11: This case, Patrick, Yeah, finally took one.
Speaker 10: All right, sorry, next week. Sorry that it's great.
Speaker 11: It's a great game.
Speaker 2: Job you guys, good job.
Speaker 11: You just got terrible contestants. Yeah, we're bad, not you,
Speaker 11: we're bad, terrible us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well started right, Okay.
Speaker 10: Okay, it's true. But when I saw it, I was like, oh,
Speaker 10: no one would guess that for sure.
Speaker 11: Masters, you know what, you know your audience.
Speaker 10: No one was going to get to get interesting fact
Speaker 10: about him.
Speaker 9: All right, final jeopardy question. You don't lead with the
Speaker 9: final jeopardy questions.
Speaker 10: Remember I did this right before the show, so it
Speaker 10: was all on the fly.
Speaker 11: I was in the blue ten after that one with
Speaker 11: the concussion.
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, let's duck in. Let's talk about the
Speaker 8: Cowboys versus the Commanders. Let's start with offensive key. Give
Speaker 8: me an offensive key, will go around the table. Offensive
Speaker 8: key for the Cowboys in this game, I'll start with you.
Speaker 10: Amber, offensive key. Run the freaking ball, like, find a
Speaker 10: way to run the ball. And uh, obviously you won
Speaker 10: the the passing game. We're talking about the Cowboys, coy
Speaker 10: you won the passing game to still be what it's
Speaker 10: been recently, but also show up on the road. I
Speaker 10: think that's sometimes something that kind of disappears a little
Speaker 10: bit when on the road just by mistakes, their own
Speaker 10: mistakes and committed penalty or errors. But this is a
Speaker 10: game where I hope we can see a little bit
Speaker 10: of the running game, just to go into the playoffs
Speaker 10: with a little spark in that area where you're just
Speaker 10: not flat out, shut out and not able to run
Speaker 10: anything whatsoever. So to me, I would like to see
Speaker 10: some balance in that.
Speaker 9: Throw the ball as much as the weather will permit
Speaker 9: you to do. So it's a secondary that even when
Speaker 9: they're completely healthy, they're not really good at defending and covering,
Speaker 9: and you add to the fact they're ravaged by injury.
Speaker 9: Right now, you should have more time ideally to drop
Speaker 9: back and throw the ball. If Jonathan Allen is in
Speaker 9: fact not in the game, that should alleviate some of
Speaker 9: that interior pressure, those challenges up front. So past the ball,
Speaker 9: attack those corners, young and veteran, because it's going to
Speaker 9: be there for you again, weather permitting. But I'm with you.
Speaker 9: Amber said it earlier this week. I would like them
Speaker 9: to get some semblance of a solid run game as well.
Speaker 9: I would like for them to get up to the fast,
Speaker 9: start passing the ball, and then kind of work in
Speaker 9: the run game to start managing the clock in salting
Speaker 9: that away, and then hopefully we can go into the
Speaker 9: playoffs confident not only in the passing attack, which I
Speaker 9: think we're all confident in for the most part, but
Speaker 9: rushing attack as well.
Speaker 11: Get everybody involved. Yeah, the last time you beat the
Speaker 11: Commanders on Thanksgiving, you got everybody involved, whether it was Turpin,
Speaker 11: whether it was Gallop, whether you know, everybody was involved
Speaker 11: in this game. Pollard ran the ball really well. I
Speaker 11: feel like though that the best way to beat the
Speaker 11: Commanders is against with matchups. They're going to struggle with
Speaker 11: the matchups. So the aggressive part of it is great.
Speaker 11: I think that's the angle you take. But make sure
Speaker 11: you get everybody involved to win this game.
Speaker 4: You guys.
Speaker 8: A couple of you guys mentioned the running game. Pollard
Speaker 8: had an interesting quote earlier this week. He said, I
Speaker 8: thought I would probably have had a better year than
Speaker 8: I'm having now. I think he's admitting to the fact
Speaker 8: that this hasn't quite been the year that he would
Speaker 8: have expected or won it. I paid a little bit,
Speaker 8: yeah did, but it was a one year deal, and
Speaker 8: so now he's going to be back up this year.
Speaker 8: What specific there was one thing that you could identify
Speaker 8: for him that you would say, hey, just do this
Speaker 8: one thing better. It would make the difference in the
Speaker 8: Cowboys running game and in his own abilities and what
Speaker 8: he's doing right now with the Cowboys.
Speaker 11: He's averaging a yard less when you talk about to
Speaker 11: and through the hole. There was a time when you
Speaker 11: looked at him when with first contact he's averaging like
Speaker 11: a yard less And maybe that's a little bit about
Speaker 11: what's going on with the offensive line and then not
Speaker 11: being able to really kind of secure. But there have
Speaker 11: been times where things have opened up for him and
Speaker 11: he hasn't really taken advantage of it. You watch the
Speaker 11: Commander's game, it's the best he's run the ball all year.
Speaker 11: So that's kind of my hope that maybe he gets
Speaker 11: that going again. But if there was something, if he
Speaker 11: could have his burst back, if he could have that burst,
Speaker 11: and I think that's the one thing that's really kind
Speaker 11: of eluded him this year.
Speaker 9: I'd like to see more of the home run ball
Speaker 9: as a receiver out of the backfield. I think the
Speaker 9: fact that he has through sixteen games no receiving touchdowns whatsoever.
Speaker 9: He's down almost one hundred yards receiving over the previous year.
Speaker 9: That's an element of his game that has always made
Speaker 9: him explosive, and I think that opening up or that
Speaker 9: getting back to where it needs to be will help
Speaker 9: open up his ability to run because it changes how
Speaker 9: he can be defended by linebackers and cornerbacks and safety
Speaker 9: is trying to play in the box. So for me,
Speaker 9: I just I want to see him. You know, you
Speaker 9: talk about like the focus drop on that middle slant
Speaker 9: against the Lions.
Speaker 4: Can't have that happen.
Speaker 9: So when he gets the ball in his hands as
Speaker 9: a target out of the backfield, I just want to
Speaker 9: see him hit more of those home runs, get more
Speaker 9: of those big gainers, because I think that's the biggest
Speaker 9: part that's been lacking this.
Speaker 4: Year for him.
Speaker 10: Yeah, to me, I would say think, but don't overthink.
Speaker 10: I feel that at times, and we've seen him in
Speaker 10: the past, so he has the instincts and being able
Speaker 10: to find the whole and know where to go first
Speaker 10: and take that initial jump at the goal. But sometimes
Speaker 10: now I feel like maybe, and this is just me
Speaker 10: assuming that he's just overthinking things and just kind of
Speaker 10: runs without really analyzing the full feel and everything that's
Speaker 10: going on, like the prediction aspect of it. Yeah, the
Speaker 10: feel and the patience and the really going back to
Speaker 10: him playing just football and just kind of let go
Speaker 10: whatever is in your head and just trust yourself. Basically,
Speaker 10: do you think.
Speaker 11: The money got to him? Do you think the money
Speaker 11: of having to try and live up to that the tag?
Speaker 8: If I had to guess, I would say what probably
Speaker 8: got to him more was having.
Speaker 4: To be the man is than the money.
Speaker 8: I just I just think that there is something too,
Speaker 8: and I think it happens. You see, it happened with
Speaker 8: running backs all the time, especially running backs who haven't
Speaker 8: been used to that. And you remember think back in college,
Speaker 8: he wasn't a single guy. He was a he was
Speaker 8: a guy that was and so when you when you
Speaker 8: think about it from that standpoint, I think that that's
Speaker 8: the part that I would look at.
Speaker 2: And again I don't know.
Speaker 8: I have not talked to him personally about this, so
Speaker 8: this is all speculation, but I would guess that that's
Speaker 8: maybe part of what we're seeing because there are those
Speaker 8: moments when I kind of agree with you amber that
Speaker 8: maybe he just doesn't play. He may be thinking a
Speaker 8: little bit too much some of the drop pass that happened,
Speaker 8: you know. I know, Brian, you said it was ripped off.
Speaker 8: But I do think there's been some other moments where
Speaker 8: I was like, you know, that's not like I'm used
Speaker 8: to him like making the play when it's there, And
Speaker 8: there have been moments when the play was there and
Speaker 8: he just didn't make it for whatever reason. And I
Speaker 8: just wonder if it's just a little bit too much
Speaker 8: to be in that situation where you're the man, everybody's
Speaker 8: looking at you, and you got to make the playoff.
Speaker 11: He you know, he could have been the man in
Speaker 11: that forty nine or playoff game last year, and if
Speaker 11: you really watched the game, he was having a great game. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and he probably could have been the difference maker until
Speaker 11: he got hurt. Yeah, you know. Unfortunately though, that was
Speaker 11: his opportunity to be the man.
Speaker 8: And but he wasn't the leader in that room. He
Speaker 8: wasn't he wasn't dealt the task of you're the leader
Speaker 8: of this room. Zeke was still there. Zeke was still
Speaker 8: the guy when there was a problem with the running
Speaker 8: game who everybody looked at. Everybody looked at Zeke. Right,
Speaker 8: that's a different when the media is looking at you like, hey,
Speaker 8: the running game isn't working, you're the problem, right, that's different.
Speaker 9: You know, it's the same reason that everyone loves Cooper
Speaker 9: Rush more than they love Dak Prescott. Not everyone, but
Speaker 9: there's a faction of fans that love Coop. It's always
Speaker 9: the guy behind the guy that gets then and then
Speaker 9: that's what happens all the pressures. Right, we talked about
Speaker 9: it running backs. You know, it happens with running backs,
Speaker 9: and you know it's going to happen continually with running
Speaker 9: backs and just other positions, skill positions, because whoever the
Speaker 9: guy is, unless they're going crazy, like you know, Ceedee
Speaker 9: Lamb is going right now, it's always going to be well,
Speaker 9: let the guy behind them play. So it's that it's
Speaker 9: the psychology. And I don't think it's much to do
Speaker 9: with the fact that he's getting ten point one million
Speaker 9: dollars on a franchise tag because he's this is still
Speaker 9: a contract year for him, This is still proven. He
Speaker 9: had to go out there and have a big year,
Speaker 9: and to his admission, he didn't have a big year.
Speaker 9: It's not up to his standard. It's not up to
Speaker 9: the Cowboys standard and it's not up to our standard
Speaker 9: as well. We can all you know, say that, admit that,
Speaker 9: but you know, I think it's just it's different when,
Speaker 9: like you said there, when you become the guy, right, so,
Speaker 9: Zeke stood in front of that train for years and
Speaker 9: that's what it became. But now Tony is RB one,
Speaker 9: the crowd gets put on your head. Now you start
Speaker 9: to realize what comes with that, the criticism from the media,
Speaker 9: the criticism from the fans, the fact that now they're
Speaker 9: calling for Rico doubt or like they were calling for
Speaker 9: you when you were playing behind Zeke. That's that's how
Speaker 9: it goes, the same way they were calling for Lance
Speaker 9: Dunbar when it was DeMarcus Murray fumbling the ball.
Speaker 8: Let's also be clear, I don't know that I necessarily
Speaker 8: think it's so much even just the fact that is
Speaker 8: the focus that has that that has that may have
Speaker 8: had made may have made the difference for him. I
Speaker 8: think it's also about just the fact that the workload
Speaker 8: is different. The expectation of the world was everywhere right,
Speaker 8: I mean, this is we we heard uh Skip Peete
Speaker 8: talked to he talked, I think he talked to you
Speaker 8: personally last year about this sledge. I know I had
Speaker 8: some conversations with him as well, and he was like,
Speaker 8: you know, everybody's calling for him to get more, but
Speaker 8: maybe more isn't better. Maybe maybe he's a guy that
Speaker 8: needs to have a certain amount. But when you're the
Speaker 8: man now, the expectation is you may go into some
Speaker 8: games and you need to just be the man.
Speaker 2: For most of the reps, like most of the game.
Speaker 8: And I think that's the part I'm a little bit like,
Speaker 8: maybe that's weird.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna get everybody in trouble here by asking this question.
Speaker 11: Then is that on him or is that on the
Speaker 11: front office for putting that on him? You know, they
Speaker 11: got rid of Zeke. They they gave it the franchise
Speaker 11: tag to Tony and they made him the number one back
Speaker 11: here and then and then you got rid of the
Speaker 11: guy who's telling us that you probably need to have
Speaker 11: two guys.
Speaker 8: Where I look at that, I think the Cowboys didn't
Speaker 8: do themselves any favors by not giving Tony Pollard a
Speaker 8: Tony Pollard, you know.
Speaker 11: What I mean?
Speaker 2: Like the thing about Zeke.
Speaker 8: Zeke had a Tony Pollard, right, and so it's nice
Speaker 8: to have that second guy who is comparable. Now, he
Speaker 8: may not be as good as you, but he has
Speaker 8: those skills right and he can he can make some
Speaker 8: big plays for you. And again this is not a
Speaker 8: knock on ric o'dowdele, but but ric o'doddle, if you
Speaker 8: would have gone out and then this draft gotten somebody
Speaker 8: in this second a third round with as a running
Speaker 8: back that that was a very capable back that, by
Speaker 8: the way, might be your starter a year or two
Speaker 8: from now. I think that does take some of the
Speaker 8: pressure off Tony because they can hit those big plays
Speaker 8: and they will have those moments in games that can
Speaker 8: can really really make a difference, and it forces a defense.
Speaker 8: It still keeps your running game going even though you're
Speaker 8: relying on this other guy, so you have two different roles.
Speaker 8: But I think that's where I would look at the
Speaker 8: front office and say, you didn't really help Tony Pollard
Speaker 8: by giving him a Tony Pollard.
Speaker 9: I think it goes to you made it a great point,
Speaker 9: and we've talked about this before going into the season.
Speaker 9: How would Tony Pollard look in the post zek era,
Speaker 9: And we said, what what would his running style look
Speaker 9: like and what would his accountabilities be with number one
Speaker 9: and credit to him in this particular aspect.
Speaker 4: His pass protection has has improved very assively.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so roses to Tony Pollard for improving in that,
Speaker 9: especially on a past happy team.
Speaker 4: So there you go.
Speaker 9: But he was going to be tasked with making more
Speaker 9: of those dirty runs and doing more of the heavy lifting,
Speaker 9: which of course is going to make it easier for
Speaker 9: a guy like Rico Dalda to then step in. And
Speaker 9: no knock to Rico because when he's healthy he has
Speaker 9: shown quickness and good vision and things like that. But
Speaker 9: it's just it's always easier on RB two when RB
Speaker 9: one is the one doing all the heavy lifting. And
Speaker 9: what Tony Pollard is finding out because he hasn't been
Speaker 9: that lead back since high school, what he's being reminded
Speaker 9: of but now at the NFL level is ah, this
Speaker 9: this gets tiring. Like, so you might be good in
Speaker 9: September by the time December rolls around.
Speaker 4: See this is why.
Speaker 9: Ezekiel Elliott was dealing with knee issues and PCO issues
Speaker 9: come late November December.
Speaker 4: It's a different workload, it's a different animal.
Speaker 9: So the best way that Tony Pollard, outside of the
Speaker 9: obvious which is more continuity and good blocking up front
Speaker 9: to open up those run lanes. But from a Tony
Speaker 9: Pollard as an individual standpoint, if he can get back
Speaker 9: to being explosive as a receiver out of the backfield,
Speaker 9: it just changes how they have to defend him. And
Speaker 9: I think that that would solve a lot of the
Speaker 9: where's his explosive ground game run? So yeah, but heavy
Speaker 9: last day. I mean, when you put the crown on it,
Speaker 9: here you go. All right, let's take our final break.
Speaker 9: We'll come back.
Speaker 8: We're going to get to some picks that we have
Speaker 8: for the final week of the season. I will not
Speaker 8: only hit the Cowboys game, but some other games that
Speaker 8: are important to the Cowboys in the NFC we'll do
Speaker 8: when we come back.

Speaker 4: Welcome back.
Speaker 8: Final segment of the Break Life from SWBC Mortgage Studios
Speaker 8: at the Star. It is time to make our picks
Speaker 8: for this week. Actually real quick. Before we make our
Speaker 8: picks real quick, we're going to go around the table.
Speaker 8: We talked about offensive key. Give me a defensive key
Speaker 8: for the Cowboys this week.
Speaker 9: Turn Sam howel Over he's prone. To give him the
Speaker 9: ball away. Get the pressure on him.
Speaker 4: He can do what he does right. He does not
Speaker 4: play well on the pressure. So easy formula.
Speaker 9: Get back there in the backfield, make him uncomfortable and
Speaker 9: take the ball away when you get the opportunities.
Speaker 11: Eric Bimmy doesn't want to run, but don't encourage him
Speaker 11: to run. You know, that's the thing about it. They
Speaker 11: do not want to hand that ball off. They like
Speaker 11: throwing the ball off. You talk to the people at
Speaker 11: the commanders, they'll tell you it's just a product the
Speaker 11: way that Eric is. And so yeah, I don't encourage
Speaker 11: them to even attempt to run the football in.
Speaker 10: This game, clean football. And I was thinking to the
Speaker 10: turnovers we saw, was it just one or two last week?
Speaker 4: To Seo and Jordan on the indust.
Speaker 10: Jordan and Jordan, I want to see that again. I
Speaker 10: think they do. Is one of those things we always
Speaker 10: say they come in bunches, and I think again, just
Speaker 10: put a bow tie on the season and get some
Speaker 10: turnovers in this game.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the picks.
Speaker 8: Let's start first with the Chicago at green Bay game.
Speaker 2: Who do you think is gonna win that?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 9: Green Bay didn't perform well against the Bears the first
Speaker 9: go round, but playoffs are on the line form, so
Speaker 9: green Bay takes it at home?
Speaker 10: Right, m broom Bay. I like groom Bay better. Just
Speaker 10: that's it. That's all I have to say. I think
Speaker 10: I just have a better feel for them.
Speaker 11: Repeat of the Lions Packers game of last year with
Speaker 11: green Bay having to win to get in. Give me
Speaker 11: the Bears.
Speaker 8: Take the Bears on that game.
Speaker 2: I think the Bears going into uh Lambeau.
Speaker 4: And get the win.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 2: Seattle at Arizona.
Speaker 10: Arizona like that Giant Killers, I'm going with Seattle.
Speaker 9: I think Arizona. I think Arizona exhausted themselves against the
Speaker 9: Eagles and the Seahawks.
Speaker 10: They did the job they needed to do.
Speaker 9: Now have to win to at least have a shot
Speaker 9: at it. So yeah, give me the Seahawks.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Arizona was they won for their coach last week
Speaker 11: and so good for them for doing that, and good
Speaker 11: for the Cowboys for that as well. Give me the Seahawks.
Speaker 10: Yeah of course, I mean Seattle is someone competing actually
Speaker 10: for something.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree, see how see me Seahawks over the
Speaker 8: Arizona Cardinals. Le's goed Minnesota at Detroit.
Speaker 4: Detroit's angry.
Speaker 9: So yeah, Detroit just by virtue of Dan Campbell being
Speaker 9: pissed off. So he's pissed off last week. They're just
Speaker 9: Dan Dan's pissed off. And Minnesota is Minnesota.
Speaker 11: Minnesota's off the quarterback.
Speaker 4: To Yeah, yeah, no, it's Detroit.
Speaker 2: Then Mullin starting.
Speaker 11: It doesn't mean any one of.
Speaker 4: Them, Yeah, no telling who finishes.
Speaker 11: It's like we're gonna be Mullen.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah Detroit. I mean that was embarrassing what happened.
Speaker 10: I mean, to lose a game like that, you gotta
Speaker 10: win this one.
Speaker 8: I agree, Detroit wins de troice the better team. Troit
Speaker 8: will won this game at home against Minnesota, right Philadelphia
Speaker 8: at New York.
Speaker 9: I'm going to stick to what I said I said
Speaker 9: a couple weeks ago. I think they split this this
Speaker 9: two game series with the Giants. So going with the
Speaker 9: Giants on this one. Let's stick with.
Speaker 4: That, right.
Speaker 10: I've been saying for the last two weeks, Philly, they're
Speaker 10: gonna win. I mean, it's it's time to win and gohold,
Speaker 10: well no, they're still in the playoffs. But uh, but
Speaker 10: then go home, but then go home. But yeah, it's
Speaker 10: it's hard still, it's it's still hard for me to
Speaker 10: visualize a win from the Giants. But at this point,
Speaker 10: I'm done picking the Eagles.
Speaker 11: Go Giants, Philadelphia, Philadelphia.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm kind of torn on this one. I kind
Speaker 8: of tend to believe the Giants is gonna win it
Speaker 8: just because I think the Giants are gonna come and
Speaker 8: give them a little bit of you know, that's always
Speaker 8: the worry is when you play these kind of games,
Speaker 8: some of what we're talking about with the Cowboys. Those
Speaker 8: teams have nothing to lose, so they'll throw everything at you.
Speaker 8: And I think the Giants are a team that mentally
Speaker 8: they're just more like we want to win this game,
Speaker 8: like they're gonna I think they will go into this
Speaker 8: game thinking as opposed to thinking, hey, the offseasons here.
Speaker 8: I think they're going to this game saying, let's go
Speaker 8: out with a win. And so I think They're gonna
Speaker 8: give them a really good effort, and Philly keeps doing
Speaker 8: the things they've been doing. Yeah, I think that's I
Speaker 8: think that's the way that they lose it. And and
Speaker 8: so I think I think New Yorkis will winning this game.
Speaker 8: All right, Let's get to the game of the week,
Speaker 8: Dallas at Washington.
Speaker 2: Who do you think wins that game?
Speaker 9: Commanders come out competitive, but Cowboys start to put their
Speaker 9: foot on the pedal, Commanders start making business decisions. Twenty
Speaker 9: seven to thirteen.
Speaker 11: Cowboys twenty eight thirteen, Dallas.
Speaker 10: Thirty twelve Cowboys. All right, safety involved in something, something weird.
Speaker 10: You know, we always experience something weird, especially.
Speaker 4: On that field.
Speaker 2: And I will go twenty eight ten. I think it
Speaker 2: will be. It will be a blowout.
Speaker 8: We'll get to wrap up early, go get our Johnny
Speaker 8: rockets and head onto the bush, get some jailr and
Speaker 8: head on back, head on back to Dallas. Just so
Speaker 8: everyone knows, here's kind of how you're thinking about this
Speaker 8: this weekend. Green Bay wins and Dallas wins. That is
Speaker 8: your first round matchup at at and T Stadium, however,
Speaker 8: and we're assuming Dallas wins. However, if they don't win.
Speaker 8: If green Bay loses, then it goes to Seattle. If
Speaker 8: Seattle wins, Seattle is in Seattle would be the matchup
Speaker 8: for the Cowboys. If Seattle doesn't win, then it goes
Speaker 8: to Minesta.
Speaker 2: I think is the next one.
Speaker 8: That would then have an opportunity. As we talked about,
Speaker 8: likely they're gonna win, but they do have a chance
Speaker 8: at that point, and then you'd see what happens at
Speaker 8: that point. But really it's the Chicago, Seattle, Minnesota. Those
Speaker 8: are three teams that are in contention. I think is
Speaker 8: the top three options to play the Cowboy.
Speaker 11: Can I read it? I'll read it for you. You're
Speaker 11: right here. We go the opponent, if it's the Rams,
Speaker 11: that would be Rams lose to forty nine ers. Seattle
Speaker 11: beats Arizona, Packers beat Bears. Say again, Rams lose to
Speaker 11: San Francisco. Seattle beats Arizona, Packers beat Bears. That's how
Speaker 11: you get the Rams. Ye, Seattle opponent, Seattle beats Arizona.
Speaker 2: Say Packers beat Rams.
Speaker 11: Uh, Packers lose Packers, Packs Packers beat Bears. Rams lose
Speaker 11: to forty forty nine ers. Oh, I got you, yes,
Speaker 11: yes for them to the Rams lose to forty nine Ers.
Speaker 11: Seattle beats Arizona Packers beat the Bears. Seattle, Seattle beats
Speaker 11: Arizona Packers lose to Bears. Packers, Packers beat Bears, Rams
Speaker 11: beat forty nine Ers, Saints, Saints beat Atlanta Cardinals beat Seattle,
Speaker 11: Bears beat Packers.
Speaker 8: There's sure got it, So Seattle, what you're saying is
Speaker 8: the Saints are ahead of the Minnesota in the possibilities
Speaker 8: of getting it, but they need other people to.
Speaker 5: Win.
Speaker 11: They need to win, and a Cardinal win and a
Speaker 11: Bears win gotta get in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, got it?
Speaker 8: And that doesn't matter with Seattle. I mean, I'm sorry
Speaker 8: what happened with the Rams.
Speaker 11: This is your opponent. These are your cowboy possible opponents.
Speaker 4: Got it.
Speaker 2: I'll have to think about that. Well.
Speaker 8: Either way, as we were talking, when we're talking about
Speaker 8: the Rams a little bit earlier, cowboys did beat the
Speaker 8: Rams and beat them soundly at home.
Speaker 2: So if you gotta play the Rams, you'll be all right.
Speaker 2: You can deal with it.
Speaker 11: You can do it.
Speaker 2: I don't care. You can deal with it. You can
Speaker 2: do it. I'm not gonna let you do this to me, Brian.
Speaker 8: No, if they can do this, this is not a problem.
Speaker 8: First round is not a problem to be able to
Speaker 8: handle that.
Speaker 2: Stop it.
Speaker 11: I know, I'm just trying to. I don't. I don't
Speaker 11: want to see that. I just don't.
Speaker 8: I just don't come Yeah, right, I'd rather see any
Speaker 8: of those other teams than the Rams. But if it's
Speaker 8: the Ram car, all right, come on Bears, all right,
Speaker 8: appreciate you guys. So we'll be back on Monday. Hopefully
Speaker 8: we'll be back after a trip to that stage. Jimmy Rockham,
